There arent any cheap ones that you havent done. A programmer would be your next step.

The cheapest mod is to use the search feature of the forum.

Cheap and easy are no longer an option to increase your HP at this point.

Programmer
UDP
Efan

search 'em

electric fans dont give you power, they are substitutes for the heavy mechanical fan that absorbs the output of the engine. so you will regain about 3-5 rwhp back rather than spin an accessory. ive had mine and i notice the gain in the lower end
